Ecosal-UK will be a network of sites, organisations, bodies and individuals with an interest in historic salt making in the UK and its cultural links and associations.

Ecosal-UK was formed on 15 August 2013 following three years research by a team from Bournemouth University led by Professor Mark Brisbane who participated in an EU funded project - Ecosal-Atlantis to create the Traditional Salt Route of the Atlantic.

The UK does not have any traditionally working salinas like our continental partners, but does have a rich and varied heritage of salt making.

Through this network we intend to promote salt making in the past and in the present and integrate its associated cultural story.

Our salt making sites on the Atlantic coast will be able to participate in the Traditional Salt Route of the Atlantic - a web site is being created by the lead French partners.
